Assistant Secretary OF state.

sPECCLATIoNs As TO WHO WILL SeCCEED GOV. PORTER
There is considerable speculation as TO the sue
cessor OF Assistant Secretary OF state Porter, but
nobody seems to have any Information on the
subject. Prominent democrats, when questioned
On the matter, admit that they are entirely in the
dark. Secretary Bayard's visit to Massachusetts,
has given rise to the idea that perhaps he has
some person in view in that section OF the Union
There is an impression that Secretary Bay ard Will
be permitted TO make the selection himself.
STAR reporter was told to-day that Mr.. Bay ard
holds that he is entitled TO make the selection Oh
the ground that, his relations ought 10 be very
cordial and confidential with hts assistant, he
Should have man whom he knows We'll and with
whom there will be no friction. 1t is said tina,
leading democrats have heSitated TO make any
recommendations because OF the Impotence mani.
tested by Secretary Bayard at anything like inter.
ference I'm departmental matters, and some predict
that notwithstanding Assistant Secretary Porter
came from the South a Northern man Will be
chosen to succeed him.
